Donald Trump has threatened to withhold federal aid from states like California if Democratic lawmakers don't sing to his tune.

The wildfires in California have burned roughly 40,000 acres of land - or about 62 square miles - which is nearly three times the size of Manhattan .

If Trump were to deny a state like California federal aid during such a disaster, the consequences could be enormous.

The federal government is typically expected to step in and help a community when it faces a natural disaster.

The Biden administration sent federal help to red states that had been ravaged by hurricanes last year .

Trump may find himself in a political bind if he starts threatening to withhold aid due to how the electoral map looks in this country.
